Darr is correct, unless you have a bootable USB and you can get back into your BIOS settings. Also, find this person (assuming this was malicious) and beat them with a fan belt.
you can also use Bootit-BM for that : www.terabyteunlimited.com/
make the cd and boot from it - don't install it on the disk - hit Cancel
now select partition work, and the partition to activate

I dont recall if you can run DiskPart from the Windows 7 repair CD. You could always make a bootable flashdrive and add DiskPart on it.
